Spooky!

Scary? Good. Here goes:
I was reading Reader's digest book INTO THE UNKNOWN and came across a section about ghosts. I saw many photographs similar to the one above and the photographers claimed that they hadnt quite seen any shadowy figures when they clicked. So wanted to try out something by myself and here's the result..I feel its good. This was developed on Fuji Slides Sensia 100, programmed exposure and no digital manipulation, no shadow play...I used a simple camera trick - Multiple exposure. When I procured my camera in Dec 04, I was going through the features of it and came across Multiple exposure...without understanding the concept I shot a few pictures and ended up with transparent objects..so when I read this article, I immediately knew how to achieve it. I made my friend Mahesh sleep for a few minutes without itching a muscle..took his photograph, wrapped myself in my mom's saree and sat beside him and exposed the same film again. So here I am, the new age Phantom, the ghost who blogs ;-)

Hey liked your blog. You got really nice pictures..
Woww, you are very experimental. First the African safari and now the ghost.. amazzing.
gud one.. it's really cool :-)
Brilliant! Your streak for experimentation is amazing.
I think I feel better when I think of a ghost as a spirit of my ancestors guiding me.
Neat.
Good effect. I did something similar with a photo editing software.

I'm just curious, the white wall have been exposed by the film so how can it register another image the second time?
Thanks all for your comments.
@Maran: I have noticed in mulitple exposure only the true whites block the second exposure...here you can see that the wall is not compltely white and falls in the range of medium tone thereby making the darker sari transparent.
hahahahaa sudu u look like a "BLOWNUP CONDOM"
fantafabulous!! congratulations on the use of multiple exposure!
